We have had many road trips, Ken and I. We travelled all over the continent, travelling in our Volkswagen bug and camping in our vintage tent. And we loved it. Now that we are old, we think twice about launching out on a car trip. Today, we begin a journey that will take us to Mississippi. Our desire to take good Angus beef to Andrew and Christina and the girls has overcome our reluctance to sit in the truck all day. First we drive to the farm, to pack up the hunting clothes Andrew wants, in addition to the cleaning materials not taken by the movers. Four coolers we hope will keep the meat frozen until we arrive , which will be Monday afternoon. Our supplies are all ready for the snacks we consume on the trip and we know the drill.
Our routine is to switch drivers every two hours and eat every two hours, only stopping for gas and bathroom breaks. Our day begins early and we stop well before dark. I am excited about this trip, because if we both enjoy the journey, Ken and I will sometime next year take a trip on Highway 281. So far, Ken keeps delaying. So wish me good luck that our old joints stay working and that our backs will straighten up, because that trip on 281 is going to be a long one!!.
